With IE and with your domain added to the 'trusted sites' security zone,
in which the settings must allow the scripting of non-safe ActiveX
controls, you can script the instantiation of the Windows Scripting Host
COM object. With the WSH object you can do anything that you could do
from a command/DOS console in Windows, which includes starting other
applications.
